Boat is in the yard in Seabrook. Starting complete paint and metal re-finishing from water line up.

Bobbie Lee is a capable blue water, long distance, and classically styled pilothouse trawler with a Portuguese bridge designed by Naval Architect Charles Neville.

Broker Observations

The Bobbie Lee is in Port Aransas Texas. Getting qoutes from area Yards for metal and paint work.

Interior: For a vessel of it's age and condition the interior is nice.

Mechanically: The boat just made a 3000 mile trip from Columbia (summer 2013)-then Florida - now Texas. I think that says alot about the confidence the owner has in it despite high hours (8000 +/-) on mains and genset.
